No spyware, adware, malware, virus, etc. Amply free space. Defragged.
Cookies and temp files deleted.
After two weeks, I finally gave up and zeroed the entire harddrve and
reinstalled xp and security apps. The condition re-appeared.
Sometimes task mgr cpu usage is very high, other times it is quite low. I
invistigated all running processes in task mgr and nothing that does not
belong is there.
Only three items in msconfig Startup and they are all legitimate and have
been there forever.
I downloaded 3 different memory testers, two if which ran all night
(different nights) and found no problems.
Computer acts like I removed 1/2 the ram. It just gets too busy much faster
then previously. It did for about two weeks before I zeroed the HDD and it
is still like that after reinstall xp.
I totally give up...what could it be. I had installed no new programs.
A few hours ago, I right clicked on the desktop to make a new dir and the
context menu poped up and I choose new folder and the hour glass appeared
and I waited over 5 minutes for it to make the new folder. Nothing else was
opened. This is an extreme example of what I deal with, but u get the idea.
Sometimes when it is starting to get slow, I will open task mgr or something
else, and it will not open, then maybe 15 minutes later it will open. Or I
will try and close an app and it wont, but maybe 1,2,5,12 minutes later it
will close.
As long as I keep just a few things open, it usually does not get too slow,
but sometimes I am not that lucky.
One thing that I can not do anymore at all is upload videos to youtube. It
starts ok, but the upload gets slower and slower and finally freezes.
Nothing else is frozen, just the upload percent. This is how I first noticed
this condition on my last xp install and it continues today. Even closing
all unneeded apps and starting the upload and leaving the computer will not
get the entire file uploaded. However, from what I said above, this is not
the only thing to causes my system to slowdown and sometimes freeze. Very
rarely does the entire computer freeze, because I can usually since the
slowness getting intolerable and I close somethings.
HELP!
PS: I wrote this is notepad and saved it to desktop. When I opened it, it
took 12 seconds to open in notepad.
